“Storm blew me away… blew the whole circus away.”
While Stephen King novels like Gerald’s Game and IT received A+ adaptations this year, The Dark Tower wasn’t so fortunate. Not only was the lackluster film panned by critics, but it also under-performed at the box office. But hey, at least it had a lot of fun Stephen King Easter eggs!
Not long after young Jake arrives in Roland’s world, for example, he comes across the ruins of a theme park with the name PENNYWISE plastered on it. This is of course a direct link between The Dark Tower and IT, two stories that indeed do share some fun connections in the Stephen King Multiverse.
If you missed the film in theaters, you can check out the full scene below, wherein Roland refers to the theme park ruins as “ancient structures from before the world moved on.”
The Dark Tower hits 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray, Blu-ray and DVD October 31.
